§ Sir B. FALLE had given notice of the following question:—
§ 47. To ask the Prime Minister, whether he will consider the guarantee of a sum of £200,000 in order to operate a contributory scheme of pensions to widows of naval ratings; or will he authorise the loan of this amount, following the precedent established when the Navy and Army Canteen Board was created, repayable in a given number of years and free of interest?
§ The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Mr. Clynes)I have not received the answer.
§ Sir B. FALLEI did not hear the reason given for not answering question No. 47.
§ Mr. SPEAKERI understand that by some mischance the Minister has not received the answer.
§ Sir B. FALLEMay I put it down again?
